Onboarding on the Deed platform:

Onboarding for NCES public schools has four steps:

User Verification
- One user must complete verification for your school.
- You’ll be directed to log into your PayPal Business account to confirm financial access.
- Ensure the account name matches your school’s name on Deed.
- Review typically takes 2–3 business days.
If your school cannot create a PayPal Business account:
Provide the following instead:
- Your role at the school
- A bank statement, canceled check, or bank letter (dated within the last two years, showing your school’s name, tax ID, and full account number)
- Our support team will review these documents within 2–3 business days.
Disbursement Set Up
